difficulty to eat food others have cooked for me

4 Replies

Hi there,

Does anyone experience the same? I struggle with eating food that other people have cooked for me, or eating out in a restaurant, too. Even if there is food I like. I prefer to eat what I have cooked. This makes me the happiest (and probably also feels the safest). I feel i give myself through food exactly what I need /feel like, no compromises, no nothing.

Hi Kayla just saw your post. Im exactly the same. the anxiety I go through when I have to eat out (which i usually cancel at the last minute) or even someone else cooking freaks me out. To me its a safety issue if that makes any sense? Like I know where it came from U know its healthy etc.

Yes that's how it feels to me, too. I need to know exactly what I eat as there might be something added I normally wouldn't allow myself to eat
